Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Bushido Blade 2

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]So the local rental place was liquidating their PS1 stock and in my mad rush to snatch their copy of Silent Hill 1 (unsuccessful, sadly) I snagged Bushido Blade 2 because its name rang a bell and it was dirt cheap. Holy fucking shit! This is the greatest fighting game ever made! Fuck Samurai Showdown. Soul Calibur the game worth buying a Dreamcast for? To hell with Virtua Fighter's floaty bullshit. Bushido Blade has ass graphics and still blows these guys out of the water for the simple fact that if you shove a sword through someone's head, they <I>die.</I> Genius! No hadooken fireballs, no wacky pow bar combos, there isn't even a fucking block button, you just have to swing your sword in a direction that will deflect the other guy's attack. In other words, aside from the bug-eyes and the gayest goddamn coyboy imagineable, no fucking anime bullshit. It's nice to finally have a samurai game that feels like a Kurosaua film instead of (the awful) Ninja Scroll. Why weren't there any more sequels to this fantastic game?[/quote]
